Description

For mobility method and equipment based on measurement
Technical field
This disclosure relates to the method for executing the wireless device auxiliary switching from source access node to Target Access Node And equipment.
Background technique
Standard of the third generation cooperative partner program (3GPP) to Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and long term evolution (LTE) Change and is responsible for.The general land that work of the 3GPP in terms of LTE is also referred to as evolution accesses net (E-UTRAN).LTE be for realizing The technology of the packet-based communication of high speed, can in the downlink with all reach high data rate in uplink.In order to prop up Hold high data rate, LTE considers the system bandwidth of 20 MHz, or up to 100 MHz are when using carrier wave polymerization Regiment commander is wide, and LTE will continue evolution.While LTE evolution, cellular technology of new generation is just developed, i.e. the 5th generation system Unite 5G.Compared with LTE, for 5G task first is that promoting handling capacity and capacity.This is partially by the every carrier wave of increase Bandwidth and sampling rate obtain.5G further includes being higher than the carrier frequency of 6 GHz using higher carrier frequency.
In UTRAN and E-UTRAN, user equipment (UE) or wireless device are wirelessly connected to radio base station (RBS), It is commonly known as NodeB(NB in umts), and the commonly known as NodeB(eNodeB or eNB of evolution in LTE).Nothing Line electricity base station (RBS), access node (AN) or access point (AP) are for that can transmit radio signal to UE and receive by UE The generic term of the radio network node of the signal of transmission.In wireless lan (wlan) system, wireless device is also by table It is shown as work station (STA).
Following communication network, which will be largely expected, uses advanced antenna system.Using such antenna, letter It number will be transmitted in narrow transmission beam, to increase the signal strength on certain directions, and/or be reduced dry on other directions It disturbs.Dependence and high frequency to Wave beam forming make that reliable radio link is maintained to be challenging.Narrow beam may Soon lose-especially when being combined with bad diffraction characteristic.Therefore, the high frequency radio access based on Wave beam forming The loss that technology is easier by the suddenly change in link-quality or even to cover is influenced, this, which may cause, significantly prolongs Slow and signaling can be restored simultaneously to find covering again until wireless device.
Unrelated with the presence of the UE in system or position in LTE, some downlink reference signals are to be always on (always-on) mode is simultaneously broadcasted on full bandwidth.These signals are referred to as cell specific reference signal (CRS).It connects The user equipment (UE) for receiving reference signal can measure the quality of neighbor cell for mobility purpose.It is logical in such Future cellular In communication network, in all each transmission beams using reference signal it is such continuously transmit to consume can be used for data Resource, and a large amount of interference are generated in neighbor cell.Continuously transmit the high energy consumption also resulted in radio access node.
For report an option of the measurement (also referred to as mobility reference signal measure) from UE back to NW be using RRC signaling.Information is grouped together in L3 rank, and long reported lengths can be supported, and the long reported lengths allow to transmit and permitted The signal strength or the relevant information of quality of the alternative link mark and its estimation that more detect.Receiving these measurement reports When, network can make switching and determine or keep in the cell or be moved into identical frequency, another frequency for UE Another cell in rate and/or RAT.Link conversion determines can be then by NW consideration link-quality and network state parameters Combination is to make.
It is based on object however, also studying for another option using non-RRC report disposition radio link Layer, report based on L1, using uplink synchronisation sequence (USS) are managed, the uplink synchronisation sequence is to carry together Walk the locally-unique signal of pilot tone and mark.Alternatively, before Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) can be used in the report based on L1 Leading code.UE can be configured to send USS to target, to indicate the collection of such as candidate's DL wave beam by the USS sequence of pre-configuration Best DL wave beam in conjunction.UE is configured for executing the mobility measurements of multiple candidate beams also, is detecting most high-amplitude wave Shu Shi;It should be directly accessed the node that it is derived from.This be by send its uplink (UL) resource (time/frequency gap, Sequence) USS associated with downlink (DL) wave beam carry out;The association is pre-configured by network.Receive AN(for example Target AN) it is that USS detection retains UL resource in advance, this allows to report with the smallest time delay to transmit.Receiving USS report When, AN(such as target AN) new service link can be signaled in DL, with allow UE synchronization parameter update with And other possible configuration changes.This method based on L1 be wherein service link SINR can due to masking (shadowing) the faster mode of object beam is accessed in the scene of rapid decrease, and in terms of robustness and time delay Promotion prepare, this is due to the fact that: report is sent directly to target by UE, and in the method based on RRC UE need Measurement is sent to source, wait the decision from source and finally from the service link being likely to be under severe radio condition RRC connection is received to reconfigure.
Measurement report based on RRC allows to transmit metrical information reliable, abundant from UE to network, but usually with suitable Big signaling overheads and potential high time delay.Come only for mobility decision using RRC signaling, it, may be for 5G such as in LTE In new radio (NR) contemplated by (high-gain Wave beam forming is such as just used in upper frequency as UE in some scenes When) lead to the problem of.There, may be declined quickly by the link-quality that wave beam provides, this is because when disposing LTE in frequency The narrow covering of the strong shadowing effect and wave beam that are not present.RRC signaling can therefore be unsuitable for wherein link-quality most Scene in the system of the Wave beam forming reduced rapidly except good overlay area.Alternate ways based on USS report may be It is led to the problem of in other scenes, and complexity and resource disadvantage may be left.In the report based on USS, UE is only capable of passing every time Pass single link report.To which wave beam conversion or mobile process effectively become to be controlled by UE, this is because most from UE Good link detecting and report have determined Target Link.Accordingly, there exist there is the needs for promoting measurement report, to support mobility mistake Journey.

Downlink reference signal herein refers to predefined signal, both for conveyer and receiver Know.Downlink reference signal is usually by some symbol or symbol sebolic addressing (sequences of usually one or more symbols) come table Sign.Receiver is that this previously known symbol monitors radio channel, and detects reference signal when a match has been found.Ginseng It examines symbol sebolic addressing used in signal and is referred to herein as reference signal sequence.As previously discussed, reference signal (such as wave beam Each wave beam in scanning) it be used to identify some entity sometimes.If being used for this purpose only with reference to signal, in scanning Each wave beam need to be assigned to unique reference signal sequence.Mobility reference signal is related with mobility (such as switching) And the downlink reference signal used.
To support the higher frequency in next-generation (NG) communication system (also referred to as new radio (NR)), Wave beam forming is One essential component part.The aerial array of the element with hundreds of quantity is used in access node, there is every section Grid (grid-of-beams) covering pattern for putting the quite regular wave beam of tens of or hundreds of candidate beams can be created. The overlay area of single wave beam from such array may be it is small, be down on width up to tens meters or so.Due to wave beam Limited coverage area causes the degradation of the channel quality except current service beam area to may be significant and quickly occur.
Therefore, the mobile process in NG is also required to solve the problems, such as to find alternative candidate wave beam, rather than just finding Target AN.Beam scanning process is generallyd use, thus wave beam (i.e. for synchronous and ambulant reference signal) is from AN multiple It is sequentially transmitted on beam direction.Fig. 1 shows the beam scanning transmitted from the AN with a transfer point.It is such to have together The beam scanning process of step and wave beam discovery purpose is held in combination with wireless device from a beam switchover to another wave beam Row.Be related to beam scanning switching preparation process can be related to current Serving Access Node from wireless device and/or one or The candidate target wave beam of other multiple candidate target access nodes.It is still further contemplated that a single access node can have it is several Transfer point.
Different measurement report mechanism is just studied to report for beam quality: report based on RRC and using uplink The report based on PHY layer of link synchronization sequence (USS) or Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) lead code, wherein UE is configured USS is sent to indicate such as candidate's DL wave beam to destination node at the USS sequence being pre-configured or PRACH preamble sequence is passed through Best DL wave beam in set.
In the report based on RRC, UE is configured to measure so-called mobility reference signal, and in certain pre-configurations When the triggering of event (for example, served beams are lower than first threshold, and neighbour's wave beam is higher than second threshold), UE is via foundation RRC connects the RRC measurement report message that including synthesis, reliable metrical information is sent to one or more service source AN.Base In this, AN, or determined more precisely, managing ambulant network function and can make valid mobility, because of report Accusing message will be comprising the Radio Measurement for multiple both candidate nodes associated with some UE or wave beam at some time point.
In the report based on USS, UE is configured to measure the mobility reference signal of multiple candidate beams, and is configured to Send the USS as measurement report, uplink (UL) resource (such as T/F gap and sequence) and downlink (DL) wave beam phase Association.Fig. 2 shows the wireless devices of a wave beam of the beam scanning of report Fig. 1.This method presents to be serviced wherein The SINR of link is used to access the faster method of object beam due to masking in the scene of rapid decrease, be based on wave beam to offset System in propagation challenge.In terms of robustness and time delay, compared with the method based on RRC, there are promotion, this be because For following facts: UE directly transmits report to Target Access Node, and UE is needed to source access node in the method based on RRC Measurement is sent, the decision from source is waited and is finally received on the service link being likely to be under severe radio condition Mobility order, such as RRC connection reconfigure message.
Measurement report based on RRC allows to transmit metrical information reliable, abundant from UE to network, but usually with suitable Big signaling overheads and potential high time delay.In the report based on USS, UE is only capable of transmitting single link report every time.Therefore, wave Beam switching or mobile process effectively become UE control and may not as good as the process based on RRC it is reliable.Therefore, one Problem has been left using the RRC signaling determined for mobility in a little NG scenes, but in other NG scenes, alternate ways It may be problematic.
What the report of the method presented in the disclosure and equipment utilization by the report based on RRC and based on USS provided Benefit, while reducing associated disadvantage.This idea is the report machine that UE is configured to triggering and is used for mobility correlation report The combination of system.
Such as from the above paragraph it is clear that disclosed solution is in the wireless network using high-gain Wave beam forming Be it is particularly useful, wherein alternative link be will be used to communicate with wireless device different beams configuration, show as shown in figure 1 Out.However, principle can equally be well applied to the more conventional deployment based on the sum of cell based on sector.In addition, in the disclosure, art Language " link " and " wave beam " are used interchangeably, and the example that this represents link when referring to wave beam.
Fig. 3 shows the access from source access node to target that is used to execute executed in a wireless device in flow charts and saves The exemplary method steps of the wireless device auxiliary switching of point.The method includes executing S31 in a wireless device for corresponding One or more mobility measurements of one or more candidate radio links.According to the aspect of the disclosure, one or more is moved The execution of dynamic property measurement includes measuring the suitable down link signal for corresponding candidate radio link (for example, mobile Property reference signal (MRS)).It is in advance or direct before measuring, such as by receiving S30 configuration, nothing from serving access node Line apparatus is configured for such MRS measurement and report.Hereinafter serving access node will be named as source access node, That is, the access node that wireless device is connected to when initiating mobile process.Generally, wireless device measures multiple candidate chains The mobility reference signal on road, that is, execute the mobility measurements for being directed to corresponding alternative link.According to the aspect of the disclosure, nothing Line apparatus is from the synchronous setting of downlink mobility reference signal export (derive) downlink (DL) and stores for waiting Select the synchronous setting of these DL of radio link (that is, for all alternative links detected).Mobility reference signal can be by Synchronizing sequence composition, to obtain time and frequency (T/F) alignment for alternative link signal and link identification sequence, to distinguish The different alternative link marks detected.Mobility reference signal can be used for triggering measurement report.In general, setting triggering item Part, so that wireless device sends report when thinking that alternative link is more preferable than current service link.
Using the mobility measurements for alternative link as a result, wireless device is mobile based on performed one or more Property measurement from one or more of candidate radio link selection S32 initial target links, for example, by detection and selection etc. It is same as the best in quality link of most high-amplitude wave beam.After determining initial target link, such as being directed to from the list retrieval of storage should The DL of link is synchronous.
Wireless device is based on one or more of mobility measurements, using the first radio link report mechanism, to connecing Receive the first radio link measurement report of Target Access Node transmission S33 mark initial target link.Initial target chain is provided The Target Access Node on road is a recipient of the first radio link measurement report, but according to the aspect of the disclosure, report Accuse the other Target Access Node that can also be sent in wireless communication system or by wireless communication system in addition Target Access Node discover/received, and be also communicated to the serving access node of also referred to as source access node.Root According to the aspect of the disclosure, the first radio link report mechanism is physical layer radio link report mechanism and initial target chain The report on road includes that best in quality link is reported using quick L1 report manner, such as by transmitting it according to previous configuration Parameter (sequence, T/F resource) is mapped to the USS of best in quality link identification.Therefore, according to the aspect of the disclosure, uplink Synchronizing sequence (USS) provides physical layer radio report mechanism.For the report based on USS, wireless device be can be used from most The DL timing reference that good link quality mobility reference signal (that is, initial target link) obtains.This allows associated target Access node is for initial target link estimation timing advance (TA) and avoids additional synchronizing process, when due to service/ Source link degradation is particularly useful when causing to call the switching of wireless device control.Wireless device is for example by according to initial mesh Target DL timing transmission USS initiates S34 communication on initial target link and receives TA order in DL control channel.Thus Establish the link of initial target.
Reuse the mobility measurements executed for one or more candidate radio links, using with the first radio The second different radio link report mechanism of link report mechanism is based on identical one or more mobility measurements, for One or more of candidate radio links, wireless device access the second radio link measurement report transmission S35 to source Node.As previously mentioned, the execution of mobility measurements includes the downlink that measurement is directed to corresponding candidate radio link Reference signal, to provide the comprehensive set for the measurement that can be sent in the second radio link measurement report.According to this public affairs The aspect opened, the second radio link report mechanism are radio resource control (RRC) report mechanisms.Therefore, wireless device is also RRC measurement report is sent using initial target link, to provide mark and quality information for several alternative links.RRC measurement Report is to be potentially based upon the request of automatic network/access node and sent via newly-established initial service link.
